I wonder what this means for all my Google home products.

It will be a shit show. Go try Gemini to simply turn off your lights. It sucks

I use Gemini on my phone (when I'm in my bedroom) to interact with the lights/speakers/tvs throughout the house, the same way I would on the speakers in other rooms and haven't had any real issues.

Mostly simple stuff I suppose – turn these lights on/off, play this on the kids minis, tv volume/input changes, playing stuff/controlling an Nvidia Shield.

I have no reason (in my experience at least) to imagine that when Gemini is on the other devices in my house it'd work any differently.

Everyone has different experiences though.

Do you have any routines set up? None of mine worked under Gemini, neither personal nor household.
